Ryan Gosling

Despite his confident good looks and his role as the son of Zeus on television's popular Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Ryan Gosling ironically used to get chuckles by donning a Speedo and flexing like a professional weightlifter as a scrawny six-year-old. Born in London, Ontario, Canada, in November 1980, and raised in nearby Cornwall, Gosling was withdrawn for private schooling early on due to harassment by his classmates. Quickly learning the value of confidence, the bright youngster focused his energy into acting and landed a two-year role on The Mickey Mouse Club at age 12. Soon moving on to television commercials and roles in such films as Disney's Frankenstein and Me (1996), Gosling returned to television in 1997 for the short-lived Breaker High before finding more sturdy television ground in his Hercules role the following year. Since then, the actor has tackled increasingly challenging roles such as his turn as a conflicted Jewish student in The Believer (2001) and as a teen who commits murder in the name of mercy in The United States of Leland (2002). That same year, the increasingly busy Gosling starred in both The Slaughter Rule, and alongside Sandra Bullock in the crime thriller Murder by Numbers.Though he was racking up credibility as a serious young actor in indie features, Gosling became an unlikely box-office heartthrob with the 2004 summer-season romance The Notebook. Starring opposite another young break-out Canadian actor, Rachel McAdams, Gosling added some depth to the otherwise treacly adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' popular tome of enduring love before and after World War II. Rather than parlay his newfound fame into leading-man action roles, Gosling chose a route not unlike Edward Norton before him, alternating between indie features and challenging, bigger-budget Hollywood productions. This strategy didn't yield great dividends with the spooky 2005 misfire Stay, but it did bring Gosling high praise for the 2006 Sundance Festival favorite Half Nelson. A slice-of-life drama focusing on a young, cocaine-addicted, inner-city middle-school teacher and the student with whom he forms a bond, the film offered Gosling the opportunity to play another intense, conflicted young man in a natural, effortless style, a performance aided in large part by his bracing young co-star Shareeka Epps. Helped by glowing reviews, the micro-budgeted Half Nelson became an arthouse success through awards season, when Gosling's name was mentioned by numerous critics' organizations in year-end honors. Though ignored by the Golden Globes, the dark-horse Gosling was recognized among a formidable group of Best Actors when Oscar nominations were announced.Having cemented himself as one of the most formidable actors of his generation, Gosling next signed on for a quirky 2007 drama called Lars and the Real Girl, about a small town man who falls in love with a life sized doll. His performance in the film earned him a Golden Globe nod, but Gosling still had other goals he wanted to pursue. He spent the next few years playing and recording with his band, Dead Man's Bones, which released a self-titled debut in 2009. When Gosling returned to acting the following year, it was for a heart-wrenching independent relationship drama called Blue Valentine, opposite Michelle Williams. Based on a short film, the movie told the story of a relationship by showing its beginning and its end. Gosling was nominated for yet another Golden Globe, but was still up for a challenge. For his next project, he took on the thriller All Good Things, playing an upper class husband who turns violent and psychotic in All Good Things. Next on the docket was 2011's Drive, which found Gosling playing a stunt man turned getaway driver, quickly followed by the political thriller The Ides of March, opposite George Clooney. Shortly afterward, Gosling took on a supporting role in the award-winning romantic comedy Crazy Stupid Love, which follows a divorced man as he finds his

He's my son and I should be around him. I wasn't around my dad and look at the fuckin' way I turned out.

Luke:

Who's that guy?

Malena:

He's yours.

Luke:

Not since Hall and Oates has there been such a team.

Luke:

I'm still his father, I can give him stuff.

Driver:

You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand?

Allie:

What happens if a car comes?

Noah:

We die.

Noah:

When I see somethin' I like, I gotta... I love it.

Noah:

Would you stop thinkin' about what everyone wants? Stop thinkin' about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want?

Noah:

Well, that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am bein' an arrogant son of the bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, ninety-nine libs at the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelin's. You have like a two second rebound rate, then you're back doin' in the next pain-in-the-ass thing.

Noah:

Well, that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am bein' an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, ninety-nine % of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelin's. You have like a two second rebound rate, then you're back doin' the next pain-in-the-ass thing.

Noah:

It's not about keepin' your promises, and it's not about followin' your heart. It's about security.

Noah:

So, it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.

Leland Fitzgerald:

Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do.

Luke:

"He can get his own girl and his own kid. That's every man's right."

Luke:

He can get his own girl and his own kid. That's every man's right.

Luke:

I want to do something with him that's his first time. I'm going to look in his face when he tries ice cream. Every time he has ice cream for the rest of his life, he's going to see my fucking face.

Luke:

Tell him to get his own girl and his own kid. Every man has that right.

Luke:

Tell him it's from me. I'm still his father; I can give him stuff.

Julian:

wanna fight?

Julian:

Wanna fight?

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

What happened to him?

Sgt. John O'Mara:

He resisted.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

What happened to them?

Sgt. John O'Mara:

They resisted.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

Don't go.

Grace Faraday:

Don't let me.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

You're a good man, John. You might even be a fucking angel.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

The whole town's underwater. You're grabbing a bucket when you should be grabbing a bathing suit.

Irene:

Hey.

Driver:

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

He'll kill you if he finds out!

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

Who?

Grace Faraday:

Mickey!

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

Mickey Mouse?

Driver:

Now you just got a little boy's father killed. You almost got us killed. And now you're lying to me. So how about this: from now on, every word out of your mouth is the truth, or I'm gonna hurt you.

Mickey Cohen:

Los Angeles is my destiny!

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

That ain't right.

Pearl Madison:

I'm only human, man.

Leland Fitzgerald:

It's funny how people only say that after they do something bad. I mean, you never hear someone say, "I'm only human" after they rescue a kid from a burning building.

Becky:

I don't want to hurt you.

Leland Fitzgerald:

Then don't.

Leland Fitzgerald:

I think there are two ways you can see the world. You either see the sadness that's behind everything or you choose to keep it all out.

Leland Fitzgerald:

The worst part is knowing that there is goodness in people. Mostly it stays deep down and buried. Maybe we don't have God because we're scared of the bad stuff. Maybe we're really scared of the good stuff. Because if there's no God, well, that means it's inside of us and we could be good all the time if we wanted. So when we do bad things, it'd be because we want to or because we have to. Or maybe we just need the bad stuff to remind us what the good stuff is in the first place.

Hannah:

Daddy?

Jacob:

Please, stop calling him that.

Jacob:

You know at the end of the film, where Patrick Swayze lifts the girl up in the air? I put that song on, the women jump into my arms and then they want to have sex with me.

Hannah:

It's not going to work on me.

Noah:

Stop thinking about what everyone wants, stop thinking about what I want, what your parents want! What do you want

Noah:

Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do YOU want?

Noah:

When I see something I like, I gotta... I love it

Noah:

When I see something I like, I gotta... I love it.

Jean:

He'd kill you if he finds out ya' know.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

It doesn't seem right, that he should have so much while others have so little.

Sgt. Jerry Wooters:

Who's the lucky guy?

John O'Mara:

We're goin' after Mickey Cohen.

Driver:

You Fucking told him, Shannon I should kill you, I should fucking kill you. You have to get out of here, you understand. They are going to look for you and me, you have to leave.

Stephen Meyers:

I'll do or say anything if i believe in it. But i have to believe in the cause.

Driver:

[talking to Irene on the phone] I just wanted you to know... just getting to be around you was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Driver:

I don't have wheels on my car. That's one thing you should know about me.

Dean:

I feel that men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry like one girl cause we'll resist it, the whole way. Till we meet one girl and we think, 'I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this one girl, she's so great'.
But seems like girls get to a place where they decide and pick... pick the best options, or something. Like, I know a girls who get married and they're like 'he's got a good job...'. I mean, they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they... they marry the guy that's got a good job and he's gonna stick around.

Dean:

But I'm not getting old.

Cindy:

Oh really?

Dean:

He's a dummy for dying.

Yeah!

Dean:

Ok, let me put it into context.
